Goat's Cheese and Watercress Quiche
For the pastry
225 g gluten-free flour, mix plus extra
gluten-free flour, for rolling
100 g butter
1 large egg, beaten, plus extra
1 egg, beaten for brushing
For the filling
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon oil
100 g watercress, roughly chopped
2 large eggs
150 ml milk
150 ml log soft rindless goat's cheese, in rough chunks
Optional
grated fresh nutmeg
Put the flour and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Rub
in the butter until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
Stir in the egg and about 1-2 tbsp water to form a soft
dough. Knead well then wrap and chill for at least 30
minutes. Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C [392
F]. Knead the pastry again and roll it out to line a
20cm loose-bottomed flan tin (the pastry won't shrink,
so no need to chill). Patch holes with spare pastry and
brush the base and sides with egg. For the filling, fry
the onion in the oil until just soft, add the watercress
and cook until just wilted. Beat the eggs and milk and
stir in the watercress mixture and goat's cheese. Season
and if you like, add a pinch of nutmeg. Put the flan tin
on a baking sheet and bake the pastry blind for 5
minutes. Add the filling and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce
heat to 180C/gas 4/ fan 160C [356 F] and cook for 25-30
minutes or until lightly set.
